We entered into the final day of racing trailing the third place by 12 points and leading the 5th place by 1 point.
It was going to be far easier to loose our 4th place and slip into 5th than to move into 3rd (near impossible)
We got to the beach and waited..... it rained, we waited some more.... more rain.....more waiting........ a bit more rain and then the race committee decided that the wind was not going to come so no more racing would take place.
Which leaves us with 4th.
Great as it's the best position that we've ever had at an event of such magnitude.
Bummer as we really wanted that podium spot.
But on the whole, great.
We fell that we sailed extremely well, good starts, good boat-speed, manoeuvres, mark rounding etc, good tactical decisions.
Best looking boat at the event as well, which is nice.
So lovely old job. We'd like to thank everyone who sponsored us to come to this great event, it has been fantastic and we are very grateful for all of the help.
So the long journey back to Vassiliki tomorrow (and Monday) apparently the busiest day on the roads of the year in Italy.
We're ready for it, just keep riding the horn Luigi!!!
- I was going to post the full list of results but for some reason i can't get them just now.
I'll try again in and bit and hopefully will be able to get them up.
